If sex were to die today!
Will that love’s creed, go astray?
Which sells, at desire’s cost?
Will that drag, midst hearts, be lost?
Which kindles, the passion’s play
If sex were to die today!

If sex were to die today!
Will the Cupid, be out of fray?
To forsake, the realm, of hearts
Till that last spark, of love departs
And lingering cinders, sigh away
If sex were to die today!

If sex were to die today!
Will that love, hold on its sway?
Which was tried, on pledges galore?
Now platonic passion, nothing more
An ordeal of delusion, borne every day?
If sex were to die today!

If sex were to die today!
Would making love, be passé?
Would bodies, be rendered, empty urns?
With no sign left, of the fury, that burns?
In yearning hearts, now a long-lost melee?
If sex were to die today!

If sex were to die today!
Will the flesh, sell on display?
Will the skin, lose its cherished sheen?
Will extinct, go desire’s gene?
Will posterity’s hope, decay?
If sex were to die today!

If sex were to die today!
Would austere, be his way?
Will mystic, become a man?
And women, a banished clan?
With a vain allure, to parlay?
If sex were to die today!

If sex were to die today!
Will the world, in order, stay?
Bigotry, amid sexes rife!
Cynicism, the new creed, of life
A new way, to betray?
If sex were to die today!

If sex were to die today!
Yes, world will be, many shades gray
For passion has, its reason to be
Beyond souls, lies destiny’s decree
That stirs man and woman unendingly
To dissolve in one, two species, vainly
Two souls, born to stray, still, abstract to say
If sex were to die today!
